How to : Make .gifs directly on chrome

How to
: Make .gifs directly on chrome :-

What do you use to create a GIF (a moving picture like given below)? Most of us will use Adobe Photoshop or GIF-making tools that require you to download the video first. While desktop tools give users more options when creating GIF we have found a much easier way to create a GIF.

MakeGIFis aChrome browser extensionthatlets you create a GIF straight from a Chrome browser. You don’t have to download a video first or leave your browser.

To start, first you need to add MakeGIFto your Chrome browser after which you will find the icon for it on the right side of the URL bar.

Head over to your video site and click in to the video you want to make a GIF of. Choose the time in the video and pause the video there. Click on the MakeGIF icon.

Set the GIF quality, GIF size, capture FPS and max frames you want and click Start.

MakeGIF will start to capture the frames. Click on Done when you think the GIF should end. Before generating the GIF you can Add Text or Reverse the GIF under ‘Frame Options’. Click Generate GIF.

After generating the GIF you can share or save the GIF. For GIF sharing, the max GIF size share-able is 4 MB. If the GIF size is bigger than 4 MB the only option you have is to save the GIF into your hard disk.

Here is the example of a GIF that we created using MakeGIF. in above screenshot.
